Who's the liar?

Guido Fawkes claims that

"The Lobby is dismayed that Gordon dares to blatantly lie to them when claiming to possess high moral purpose. "

The Guardian report that:

"Tom Bradby, from ITN, asks Brown, in the spirit of candidness, to admit that he wanted to move his chancellor.

Brown says that's not true.

Bradby says Brown is not being candid. Everyone knew he wanted to sack Alistair Darling."

The Mail reports that:

"The fragility of the Prime Minister's position was laid bare when he proved too weak to move the Chancellor Alistair Darling and install his closest ally Ed Balls in the Treasury - a move widely signalled by Downing Street officials last week."

Andrew Pierce in Saturday's Telegraph writes

"Early in the week Mr Brown's aides let it be known that the new Chancellor would be Ed Balls... who is Mr Brown's closest friend."

And yet at his Press Conference on Friday Gordon Brown Gordon Brown clumsily refuses to answer all the parts the question posed by Robin Oakley that

"(is every Cabinet Minister) in the job they were first offered in this reshuffle? Did any impose conditions for serving in your Cabinet and what difference do you think this bunch of people can make compared with the previous bunch?"

Maybe Peter Mandelson could answer that question on the Andrew Marr programme this morning.

Maybe Andrew Marr could also ask Peter Mandelson about The Mail report that quotes Tony Blair says of Gordon Brown that

'The darkness in his heart and the lies will be his downfall.'
